Super Eagles Missed Osimhen At AFCON – Senegal Captain, Koulibaly


Senegal captain Kalidou Koulibaly believes the Nigerian team to the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations in Cameroon sorely missed Napoli striker Victor Osimhen at the tournament.

The Eagles crashed out of the tournament in Cameroon in the Round of 16 after losing 1-0 to Tunisia.

The three-time winners had recorded victories over Egypt, Sudan and Guinea Bissau in Group D but could not get past a disciplined Carthage Eagles side at the Roumde Adjia Stadium in Garoua.

Koulibaly who was instrumental to Senegal’s 3-1 win over Burkina Faso said, “He’s (Osimhen) a big player with great attitude and force which could have helped the Eagles.
“Many teams were scared of them with the way they started but were unlucky against Tunisia.”

No be lie.

Not just Osihmen, also Odion Ighalo. We missed the presence and services of an experienced forward like Aboubakar, Haller, Salah and Mane. If we use those Awoniyi, olayinka and Sodiq guys against Ghana, we will lose woefully.

we missed all key n experienced attackers n not jus oshimhen, missed denis n ighalo too, assuming dey are available, we wont av that problem of overdependence on simon n we wont get to see dt sodiq coming in to do nothing..
but I think we missed dt enyeama kinda presence in goal post, the same way we av already bin missing okocha creativity in midfield for years..
